    The Story:

    There a two different ways to start the story:

    It all happend one year ago. The boy was caught by the police and send to a special institude. Now he's banned to use or get in contact with Pok�mon. His parents wouldn't accept him anymore, since the boy's father is a highly respected Pok�mon Trainer. His son should've been his succesor. The boy was, or still is, a very skilled Pok�mon Trainer. Even one of the best from the Pok�mon School. Now that a year passed his freedom returned. He'll start living in Foridged Town with his uncle. But when he comes back, everything will change the way he thought we would live and than to think that even Professor Elm wants him to fight with his Cyndaquil.

    Also got up in the story is the girl. She's on her 3th year in the Pok�mon school. She spend her free time a lot with her friends: Danial and also the boy. Somehow these two never really liked each other, but you'll have to find yourself. The girl is two grades lower than Danial and the boy, but she's the best from her class, though. And that's way she may choose a Pok�mon from Professor Elm. While Professor Elm has to leave in a rush she obtains a Chikorita without having a change to choose. When Danial comes in the hall and asks you if you like to see him battle Jasmine in Olivine City, the story begins.


    The Boy:

    The boy is an outlaw, he was a thief and got caught. His priorities as Pok�mon trainer were taken for a year. Now he's living with his uncle in Neport City. His old gang is awaiting him. They want to steal 3 newly discovered Pok�mon, but he refuse to join them. Professor Elm and professor Cornus are getting robbed by the gang and they ask him to retrieve the stolen Pok�mon. He obtains a Cyndaquil and a pok�dex to clear his name.

    The boy will first set sail to Forsunken City were he'll meet his first partner in battling.

    The Girl:

    The girl is a highly classed student at the Pok�mon school. And she obtaines a Chikorita from Professor Elm, how's visiting the school, before he gets a call from professor Cornus that he has discovered 3 new pok�mon.
    After the class is over professor Elm leaves.

    The girl will meet her first battle partner in the school and they both set sail to Olivine City.



    Team mates:

    While playing the game, new characters can join you Party for 2-on-2 combat and new Pok�mon.

    Charlie
    trainer0177mu.png


    Charlie is a shipsboy, you'll meet him in Forsunken City. In first sight, he's not very nice and not that bright either...


    Danial
    trainer08b5lh.png


    Daniel is not going along very well with the hero of the story. They know each other really good, though. Along the story you'll learn what's bugging these guys.


    Aina
    trainer01745di.png


    Aina is Daniel's older sister. She's a very skilled Pok�mon trainer and started here training with the fire starter: Charmender.


    Bo
    trainer033553cv.png


    Bo is a girl from an island in the new region. She left her island to find a future as an Pok�mon trainer in Johto. She's a really nice girl with great tactics. She uses a Bulbasaur, to complete the circle in the Boy's team.



    As you get further in the game you'll meet more trainers to team up with you.
    But beware! Some trainers will only join the boy or the girl!
    When the boy and the girl team up, you'll team up with their partners as well, but you can't use their partners Pok�mon.


    The Badguys:

    As told before, as the boy you'll go after your old gang members.
    If you play as the girl, you'll also meet these thugs, but in a different way.

    The gang are not just stealing Pok�mon for fun or for the money. Something is going on in the new region.
    The problems are starting when the boy or girl reaches Olivine City.


    Other Characters:

    Just: Just is also a Pok�mon scholar, he's also 1 of the 3 best students, together with Danial and the boy.
    Just terribly lost a battle against the boy and it still hunts him.

    "Skipper": What his real name is? Don't ask me. There only seems to be two characters in the story that knows his name. One of them is Charlie, since he's Charlie's father. The Skipper will help you on your way to Johto.

    Jasmine: You'll still know her from Johto. The STEEL-type Gymleader. Somehow she's caught up to something and tells you to meet Falkner to take you to a new part in the region.

    Falkner: Also a Johto Gymleader. He'll lead you to a special BIRD-typed island we're you'll meet someone special.



    New Starters:

    The first starters?

    Ofcourse this new hack will have new starters! This time by the genious spritework of Solaceira!
    You can't really call them starters, though. 'Cause Cyndaquil or Chikorita is the first Pok�mon you'll obtain.
    These Pok�mon have a really important role in the story.

    Great! I like the looks of it, except for one thing. Instead of Chikorita as the only starter, can we also pick from Cyndaquil or Totodile?

    Haven't you noticed that that's a new sprite of chikorita he's got there? He hasn't finished the other ones yet and he said starters not starter I think he's going to make custom sprites for all of the starters (or maybe all pokemon) only time will tell.

    Well, you'll see what happens as soon as you leave Vermilion to Route 6.
    But don't forget to visit the Pok?mon Center. X'D

    And here we have the screen.
    Is that at the bottom of Route 39?

    I would like to use a Rattata instead...of Poochyena but meh.

    You can't earn surf without earn the badge from Morty so access to Rt40 and 42 blocked off. I know you can go thru Mt Mortar but better to put a rock in the way.
    Morty refuse to accept gym challenge without defeating Whitney, Bugsy and Falkner.
    Access to Goldenrod is blocked off with Sudowoodo

    Nice work, the new sprites look really good in the old maps. I hope to see more screens from this in the future!

  • Thank You all ^^

    @ Jade,
    No, that's Route 6, like I said.

    Why POOCHYENA?
    I'd like to change it to RATTATA, that's a good idea.
    But the be honest, for some reason it never worked to change POOCHYENA's battle-bytes into another Pok?mon.
    For some reason, POOCHYENA still comes up.

    @ PokemonChampion2K4,

    The Chikorita sprite is indeed from Emerald.

    @ Kronos,

    Thanks, I know, some maps still bother me.
    But I'm thinking to make a balance between KANTO, JOHTO and even a new region. So I don't know if all JOHTO will be in the game.

    Don't you mean, "Who's brave enough to challenge POOCHYENA?"

    Other then that, looks awesome.
